Samenvatting | Continued with color photographs, drawings, and maps of Viking sites, artists, and landscapes, this book celebrates and explores the Viking saga from the combined perspectives of history, archaeology, oral tradition, literature, and natural science. The book's contributors trace the spread of marauders and traders in Europe, as well as the expansion of farmers and explorers in the North Atlantic and in the New World. They show that Norse contact with Native American groups was more extensive than previously believed, but that the Europeans never established more than temporary institutions in North America. |
